Check out @thurgohmmg New ‘Juug Star 2’ EP
With Thurgo’s lyrical heat, expert delivery, and huge collaborations to round it off, “Juug Star 2” is high-octane hip-hop done right.
Detroit-based rapper Thurgo is rapidly on his way to becoming a household name in the American hip-hop scene. Now cementing that reputation even further with his latest offering, “Juug Star 2” is a heavyweight signpost of his artistic evolution over the past two years. With millions of streams accumulated over the past few years, and performances all throughout the US, Thurgo shows no signs of slowing down.
The second installment of his Juug Star series, “Juug Star 2” is a five-track hip-hop frenzy that lands exactly two years from the date that the original dropped on March 20th 2020, the very week that COVID-19 was declared as a state of emergency. Set for release this March 2022, the EP is being housed on Hollingsworth McCants Music Group, and features production from GLA Jaywiz and Asar and features a collab from rap legend G.T.
From the straight-talking, braggadocious lyricism of “Bubbly”, to the belligerently snappy “Percy Miller”, each avenue of “Juug Star 2” lays out yet another enrapturing aspect of Thurgo’s diverse hip-hop sound. The EP not only marks out the next chapter of his journey, but also signifies a period of growth and change for the Detroit-based rapper. ‘Man in the Mirror’ is a prime example of this, one of the stand-out tracks that gives deep insight into his personal evolution as a man and artist who’s made mistakes and grown from them.
“I chose the worst time to release my first project, but it was still a moment of growth for me which helped elevate my career. This release represents the growth and extension of the musical vibes from part 1”. – Thurgo
Some records talk tough. Others are tough. “God Tier” falls into the latter. Godbliss linked up with Papoose for a bar-heavy banger that checks every real rap box: punchlines, flow, grit, message, and presence. This track doesn’t just knock — it slaps you awake.
Godbliss proves yet again why he’s a respected force in the underground — unfiltered, intelligent, and vicious on the mic. “I cut you up to link sausages,” he spits with zero hesitation, layering graphic metaphor with East Coast bite. Papoose, ever the technician, fires back with Bronx-worthy venom and deadly delivery, flipping street tales into punchline poetry.
The production? Dirty and deliberate, it gives both emcees the space to wild out without losing the structure. What really sets “God Tier” apart is how clean and cohesive it sounds while still feeling raw. This ain’t for the TikTok crowd. This is gym music. Cipher music. Real rap fans, do yourself a favor and press play now — and then again. You’ll find something new in each listen.

“Candy” is a seductive, & sexy ride where Omega the Poet and Foolie $urfin compare a woman’s allure to the sweetness of candy and the sleek luxury of a Mercedes.
The track blends dreamy melodies with lust-driven lyricism, capturing the high of infatuation and the temptation that comes with beauty and desire. It’s a sonic fantasy — smooth, hypnotic, and dripping with double meanings.
Check out “Candy” below.
Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel release the new single and video “Where Would You Go?”. The song taps into the frustration of questioning someone’s loyalty to you. The verses seamlessly shift between English and Thai in a vibrant fusion of R&B-infused melodic hip hop that is both poignant and powerful.
“Where Would You Go?” was filmed at Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is a significant ancient Buddhist temple in Bangkok where monks live and pray. Many scenes took place in the cave on the property that displays a large replica of the towering 33 ft. “Bamiyan Buddha” from central Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and recreated to bring back the lost cultural heritage.
“Where Would You Go?” is from Star2’s forthcoming EP, No Place Like Home, which is set to drop on May 9th.
